Stingray and TuneIn automotive audio expansion

Overview

Stingray, through its subsidiary TuneIn, has established multiple partnerships to integrate audio streaming services into vehicle infotainment systems.

In late September 2026, Stellantis announced a global agreement with TuneIn to provide drivers of select future models with access to over 100,000 radio stations, podcasts, news, and sports content directly through vehicle dashboards. This integration is intended to offer a seamless experience without requiring smartphone use.

By October 2026, Stingray expanded its reach through further agreements. An arrangement with Harman, a Samsung Electronics subsidiary, will make the Stingray Music+ application available via the Ready Link Marketplace, offering access to 150,000 radio stations and 4 million podcasts. Additionally, TuneIn secured an OEM deal with Ford Motor Co. to integrate its application into select 2024 and 2025 models of the Ford Explorer, Ford Expedition, Lincoln Aviator, Lincoln Navigator, and Lincoln Nautilus in the United States and Canada.
